Destination: anywhere this road decides to go
Underneath the desert sky
I find a place to hide and rest my weary bones
This underpass will shade the heat
And as my mind drifts off to sleep
There you are with your hair all down
What a beautiful sight, in the moonlight
The way you're lookin' at me with your lovin' eyes
You let me know that for all my life
You will always be my only girl
But that's another place in time, back when you were mine
In another world
A car stops way up ahead
I climb inside, her hair is red, I thank her for the ride
She talks the miles away
I nod and smile and try to say
Anything to be polite
But as the darkness ends the day
Another voice whispers my name
There you are with your hair all down
And your feet are bare, in your cotton gown
What a beautiful sight, in the moonlight
The way you're lookin' at me with your lovin' eyes
You let me know that for all my life
You will always be my only girl
But that's another place in time, back when you were mine
In another world
There you are with your hair all down
And your feet are bare, in your cotton gown
What a beautiful sight, in the moonlight
The way you're lookin' at me with your lovin' eyes
You let me know that for all my life
You will always be my only girl
But that's another place in time, back when you were mine
In another world
In another world, in another world, in another world
The lyrics to Joe Diffie's song, "In Another World," tell the story of a man traveling down a deserted road in the middle of the desert. He finds solace under an underpass, taking respite from the blistering sun, and drifts off to sleep. In his dreams, he is transported to a memory of a lover who is no longer with him. She appears, with her hair down and barefoot in a cotton gown, creating a beautiful sight that he will always remember. She looks at him with loving eyes, and he knows that she will always be his only girl, though they live in another world.
As the sun sets, the man catches a ride with a woman who has red hair. They make small talk, and as the day turns into night, he hears his name whispered. Once again, he's transported to another world where he sees his former flame in the same beautiful form as before. The repetition of the chorus serves as a reminder that, though they have moved on, their love existed in another time and place.
The lyrics tell a tale of nostalgia and longing, highlighting the power of memories to transport people back in time. It's a bittersweet reflection on what could have been and what once was. The imagery of the desert, the moonlight, and the cotton gown serve as a backdrop for a love story that exists in another world.
